The conclusion of the report is de-
voted to personal matters in which the
general secretary exhibits the pain he
has felt at the repeated attacks to
which he has been subjected. He re-
fers to criticisms on his salary, and be-
lleves no corporation would so poorly
requlte services. In conclusion he says:

duty well done. / come to you as one who,
for the past elveven months mas devoted

Strikes Should Re Avoided as
Expensive---The Insurance De-
partment.
General Treasurer Turner, in his re-
port, summary of which appears in
the secretary's report, says:
During the fiscal year nearly $3.50. 900
were donated by the general executive board
for the support of members either locked out
or on strike, yet it was far from being suffi-
Gent to supply their wants, in consequence
OF which they were defeated in most cases.
We should avoid strikes if possible for if q
point is gained it is at considerable loss, but
when our members are locked out solely on
account of their membership in the order
they should be financially assisted to the
end, and the board should be empowered to
provide fund for that purpose only. Nearly

the general executive board, every cent of
which can be rigidly accounted tor. invite

w1thstanding professional accountant en-
gagged by the board has closely examined the
accounts and voluntarily indited the follow

Concerning the insurance department
he says:
During the fiscal year 81 deaths occurred,
10 of whom held certificates, and for which
40 assessments were levied, numbered from
81 to los. The membership in good stand
ing in the old plan July L, 1887, is 143-that
number having paid the assessment num-
bered 103 to 1OS. No certificates have been
issued in the old plan since March Is, 1887.
The members holding certificates at that time
were, upon passing medical examination
or rel1nqulshlng claims 10 benefits for one
year in the new plan (Class "A"), transferred
to the same without charge; go were so
transferred up to July 1, 1887. Several
claims were presented in behalf of deceased
members whose certificates were suspended
for failure to keep up assessments while
others were refused as having obtained the
certificates by false representations.

A SOUND ARGUMENT.

When asked for his reason for not
calling an extra session of congress,
among other things Mr.. CLEVELAND is
quoted as saying that he thought the
members of the new congress should
spend the usual recess among their con-
stituents, and learn there, by long and
intimate communion, Just what the peo-
pie required of them. There is the
usual good horse sense in this view of
the matter which characteriZeS all the
presidents utteranceS. 1t must be adj
mitted that there were substantial ar
guments in favor of an extra session:
at the same time the country will read
lily recognize why the arguments
against it Outweighed in the presidents
mind. If the new members of congress
will follow the presidents suggestion
and spend the intervening time be-
tween now and the regular session of
congress in Intimate communion with
their constituents and acquiring a cor
rect knowledge of the requirements of
the people, there is not a shadow of
doubt but that the country will be more
benefited than if they were to be called
together III an early extra session with
out this knowledge in store. The
trouble with our congressman, as a rule,
is that they get away from the people
and become SO much absorbed in Wash
ington matters and the series of politi-
cal chickering's and combinations that
are continually going on at the national
capital that the country is the sufferer
by it. Under the former admins
tratiOn the time of the average congress-
man was so much taken up with look
ing up offices for his henchmen that he
didn't have chance to devote himself
to the study of questions of national i'm
portance. Under the existing admins
tration, with the civil service principle
in force, there is not the same tempta-
ton to the average congressman to
Gnger around Washington in search of
1oaveS and fishes. 1t gives him more
time to commune with his constituents
at home. This is one blessed reform
for which the country is indebted to the
CLEVELAND administration.

THE PENITENTIARY ROW.

The fight between Warden SToRDoCK
and eX-Warden REED seems to have
developed into dog eat dog sort of
contest. They are trying to chew each
other up with convict testimony. At
this stage of the war it looks as if REED
had captured SToRDoCK's artillery, and
had turned the guns on him. One re-
cently-released convict testifes that
SToRDoCK eXtorted his testimony
against REED from the convicts by con-
filming them in dungeons and limiting
them to q bread and water diet until
they were starved into being swift wit
neSSeS against the eX-warden. Another
female convict who testified against
REED now suffers from remorSe of con-
science, and owns up that she bore false
witness. 1t is pretty kettle of fish all
around, and the only decent way to dis
pose of the matter is to clean out the
entire penitentiary management. Or,
what is better still, to relegate the whole
state administration into private life,
which is pretty sure to be done at the
next state election.

ROUGH ROASTS.

The Legislative Committee Cen
sures Senator Mcmillan and the
Senate Generally.
The report of the National Legislative
committee is an interesting and ex-
haustive document. 1t is largely taken
up with a review of the work of the
committee for and against various bills
pending before congress. A terrific
roast is given Senator Mcmillan in the
matter of the Sioux City and st. Paul
land grant. The report says the grant
is IN the same position as ever, and
adds:
But, In the meantime, the governor of the
state OF Iowa has certified back to the gen.
eral government some 10000 acres in the
counties OF Woodbury. and Plymouth; and
the committee on the part of the settlers in
this city, Louis Countrvman, of Kingsley, To-,
mas been untiring in his efforts to get the
general land office to issue an order to open
thls Ianq TO settlement, which order would
enable the settlers on these lands to at once
prove their claim and receive their title We
are Informed that Mr.. Struble the member of
congress from that district, has requested the
department to withhold the order, and Sena-
tor Mcmillan, of Minnesota, who during the
last session, opposed the bill by trying to get
IN an amendment that would deprive the
settlers of their land, has also requested the
department to withhold the order until
the president Of the company that is con
testing these lands has a chance to
be heard. And we are also informed that
he is to stay here after the expiration of his
term of office in the senate, at the adjourn
ment of the present congress, and watch the
interest of the so-called railroad company
before the department. 1t is plain to this
committee that he has been nothing but the
paid attorney of the company while in the
senate. There has been some very crooked
work done in connection with the forfeiture
of this grant. While this committee has
been trying to get this bill through in the in
terest of the settlers, they in many instances
have been duped and defrauded by a lot of
shystering lawyers, who have been posing as
work getting the bills through congress that
would restore their lands to them, and in
several instances, they have succeeded in
getting several thousand dollars in notes
from the people that are located on these
lands.
A GENERAL ROAST.
The committee concludes its report as
follows:
1t is the opinion Of your committee that
the next general assembly should select not
more than three great public measures, and

Till "fOurthly" started OH its way.

And up the aisle demurely went,
On some absorbing mission bent,
Her eyes filed with look intent.
She stopped and said, in plaintive tone,
With hand uplifted toward the dome.

jam Monday afternoon will be in the vicinity
of the union depot, and passageway should
be maintained at all hazards. Not more than
two or three minutes ought to be consumed
in getting the president and his wife from
their special car to the carriage near the side
walk, but it will require from fifty to seventy
five policemen to effect this expeditiously.
